Vhs Late Tapes: Wet & Messy
ICAThe Mall, London
Fri 25 Sept · 21:00
About this event
WET & MESSY is the eleventh iteration of the Late Tapes series – an ongoing exploration of fetishistic desire curated by Harlan Whittingham and Helena Whittingham in collaboration with the Bishopsgate Institute's UK Fetish Archive. Drawing on the golden age of British sploshing and the long-running output of WSM productions, Aquantics, Artscene Wetlook, and others, this edition celebrates the pleasure of ruining a good outfit: substances poured, dumped, smeared and thrown, with full slapstick commitment. Come and experience custard, mud and mushy peas in all of their squelching glory; just don’t send us your dry-cleaning bill. All films will be presented in their original VHS format. Programme duration: 60 minutes.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar cinema still playing in London this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (cinema) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
